The Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park

Inspiring the next generation of sculptors!

This past June, Timberline Secondary School unveiled "Crescent Moon Wolf" - its very first student-created sculpture, crafted by students Summer Knowles and Bella Lee through their school’s art metal program.

Under the mentorship of teacher Stephen Johnston, Knowles and Lee brought their vision to life using plasma cutting, CAD design, and welding to shape steel into form. This new work marks the start of a student-led sculpture garden at the school, extending Timberline’s long-standing relationship with the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park.

Supported through the Educator’s Award granted to Timberline teacher Steve Joyce, this initiative reflects Rubinoff’s commitment to Art as a Source of Knowledge and demonstrates the enduring impact of introducing young minds to hands-on, physical sculpture.

Congratulations to Summer, Bella, and the Timberline community on this beautiful milestone! 🎉

Introducing Episode 1 of our 5-part series with Research Resident Sage Elwell

During his residency this past spring, Sage Elwell, Professor of Religion and Art at Texas Christian University, used the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park as a living laboratory to explore how vulnerable, mortal human forms interact with Jeffrey Rubinoff’s abstract, seemingly permanent works.

In this first episode, Sage discusses his working project, "Broken on Delivery/Broken on Return" sharing how impermanence, repair, and human fragility play in direct conversation with Rubinoff’s sculptures across the Hornby Island park.

Watch Episode 1 now and follow along as we share the rest of Sage's residency journey.

About the Exploratory Research Residency: Our residency program invites emerging and professional artists, scholars, curators, and educators to engage with the sculptures, writings, and archives of Jeffrey Rubinoff. Designed to foster independent inquiry, the residency supports new directions in art, research, and public dialogue inspired by the park.

Don’t miss “Plastic : Elastic” Zoe Jordan’s screendance film and photography exhibition on now until the end of the season Aug 6, 11, and 13th from 9:30am to 1:00pm

In Zoe Jordan’s Plastic : Elastic, dance and sculpture enter into a dynamic conversation. Created during Jordan’s residency at the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park, the film explores the relationship between the human body and Rubinoff’s monumental steel forms.

Jordan’s creative work brings her body into counterpoint with Rubinoff’s monumental steel forms — contrasting, mimicking, supporting, merging. Netting, fabric, and string mediate the exchange, binding body and sculpture into a shared, hybrid form.

The screendance film (created by Anandi Brownstein), including original score (by Trent Freeman), and photographs by Don Peterson are on display at the Park for a limited time. Check our schedule for open days and make sure to come by! Park Open August 6, 11, 13 9:30am to 1pm.

Join us for the premiere of Plastic : Elastic, a new dance film by Zoe Jordan, followed by an artist Q&A and photo exhibition.

✨ 7:30 PM: Plastic : Elastic
📍 The Barn at the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park
🌙 Park open 6:30-9:30 PM
🎟️ Free admission

Dancer and movement artist Zoe Jordan premieres her new screen-dance film, created during a residency spent moving in dialogue with Jeffrey Rubinoff's steel sculptures.

Grounded in Zoe's improvisational and somatic movement practice, Plastic : Elastic draws a translucent veil between body and form, exploring the relationship between the moving body and sculpture and making visible the idea of art extending into the space it occupies.

Following the 10-15 minute film, join Zoe Jordan for an artist Q&A and explore an accompanying photo exhibition featuring photographs documenting the making of the film.

🎥 Filmmaker: Eva Anandi Brownstein
📷 Photographs: Don Peterson

What an incredible week at the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park.

We were thrilled to welcome audiences for two extraordinary performances that brought music, sculpture, and landscape into conversation.

🎻 Masters of Counterpoint saw the Borealis String Quartet return to the Park's Amphitheatre for a powerful open-air performance pairing Janáček's String Quartet No. 2, "Intimate Letters" with Arvo Pärt's Fratres.

🔥 Gaia: Theatre of Fire transformed the Barn into an immersive soundscape, bringing together composer Paul Alexander, the Borealis String Quartet, percussionist Boris Sichon, and audience volunteers in the inaugural Borealis Lab performance.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these performances so memorable. We are grateful to the artists, musicians, collaborators, volunteers, and audiences who made it all possible.

Here's to more moments where art, music, and landscape come together.

FRIDAY: Join us for a special afternoon of music at the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park - including the world premiere of a new work by Cuban composer Victor García.

🎻 12:00 PM: Masters of Counterpoint Concert Series
📍 The Amphitheatre

The Borealis String Quartet returns for another open-air concert, featuring:
🎼 Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 9 in E-flat major, Op. 117
🎼 Astor Piazzolla - Oblivion and Adiós Nonino
🎼 Victor García - Island Portraits: Cuban Scenes (World Premiere)

The concert closes with the world premiere of Island Portraits: Cuban Scenes, a nine-minute string quartet written for and dedicated to the Borealis String Quartet.

A suite of vivid Cuban miniatures built on cinquillo and conga rhythms, the work brings the sounds and spirit of Cuba into the concert setting. At moments, the musicians tap the wooden bodies of their instruments, before the piece concludes with a conga procession that gradually fades into silence.

Please note: Chairs are limited, so bring a blanket or chair if you can.

Come experience an afternoon of music, sculpture, and landscape, and witness the premiere of a brand-new work.
